I thought this was interesting from the interview that MTV did with the screen writer of Twilight, Melissa Rosenberg. Now, I have to say that when I first heard the line uttered, it made me cringe...am I the only one? Maybe it will be better in the context of the movie. I am, however, not surprised that Robert came up with it!

Rosenberg:Well, I can tell you this: "Spider monkey," I believe, comes from Rob Pattinson. I didn't actually write "spider monkey."

MTV:Really? Because the fans already love that line in the clips we've seen when Edward tells Bella, "You better hold on tight, spider monkey!"

Rosenberg:That was an improv.

MTV:So is that one of the things where a screenwriter sees the movie and says, "Sweet improv!" Or do you go, "He ruined my script! 'Spider monkey' is not accurate!" Rosenberg: [Laughs.] Well, what I should say is, "I came up with spider monkey on my own. I wrote that."

MTV: .Someday that could be the new "This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship" — or something like that.

The movie premier's where I am while I'm in school, so instead of catching an evening show, I going 2 ask if I can skip. This movie is way more important than school were I just sit and get bored out of my skull.
